      This is a great guide, as others have said it also improves your view only daily life and makes you appreciate things that you would never notice. I am glad that I read this because it seems like a really reliable way to have lots of LDs, and after a while you don't even really have to try since awareness just becomes natural for you.

      Yeah, once you get used to the awareness, it really doesn't take a whole lot of work to keep your lucid dreaming going. You just have to put in the effort initially and your hard work will definitely pay off in the long run. I'm glad this tutorial seems to be helping everyone . Be sure to keep us updated on your guys' progress...you never know when your success stories may help out a fellow dreamer. Good luck to everyone!

      Thanks so much for this, it works! After doing ADA for like a week now, i can sometimes just tell when i am dreaming. Without any dream signs. The feeling is different, kind of relaxed or something.

      Yeah I agree. I think it is because you just know its a dream and its not a huge surprise. Often times, that "OMG I'm DREAMING" surprise can cause the dream to become unstable and possibly even kick you out. Once you start having lucid dreams from ADA its more of a cam transition for the most part. You just have to make sure you really plant that, "I'm in a dream" thought in your mind so don't lose your lucidity. Of course, I just perform a few RCs to really plant that thought deep in there.

      Glad you had success with ADA! Awesome !

      I've been doing this for the past 6 months without success.

      There #1 problem I have is the fact that I find it nearly impossible to focus on more than vision and touch / hearing and touch simoltaneously unless I am in complete solitude, which never happens in my dreams, and thus, rendering this method a lot less effective.

      And I can never get it to a subconcious level. I need to actively remember to check the sensations. I have trouble getting it further than that. What's the best method of advancing? Where should I go from here?

      Halp?

      I would suggest just breaking it up for different days. Like, one day focus on just visuals and hearing. The next day, try to focus more on touch and smell. Try to alternate the days and you should start to get a feel for everything. Just mix it up and try to really focus on two different combinations each day until you have to repeat. Then simply repeat the process. After a bit, you could try 3 senses, 4, etc.

      I've been trying this as well, but so far no results at all, my dreams are still quite un-vivid. Could be because of lack of results I slackened my attempts... I guess I just have to continue a while longer, I'm a hard case ^^"

      Along with lots of reality checks, I have been doing this for a couple of days. The problem is, Im a person who really likes to think about things in my head. I like to think about everything, but with this awareness thing, i cant really do that.

      Ah, try to stay as positive as you can. Be confident that any technique you attempt will work well for you. Try not to get discouraged and just keep practicing. You would be surprised how far expectations and confidence can go when it comes to lucid dreaming. Good luck to you...I know you can do it !

      Hmm, I would suggest just performing ADA in sessions throughout the day instead of at all times. This way you can get all of your thinking in and just take a break from it for an ADA session every now and then. Even a little practice with ADA could show results and help you along your path toward lucidity.

      I've read your post several times now, but this time I want to actually do it. I'm a hell of a lazy person, but I'll try to keep this up.
      About a week ago, I started to be aware and talking talking to myself (sounds so silly lol) before I go to sleep, creating a "pact" with my awareness and got a lucid dream out of it. So I think that with more awareness that has more effect too.
      So I will thank you beforehand and wish everybody here good luck with their attemps.
      Goals:
      Super speed running [ ], flying decently [ ], Having a nice long conversation with a DC [ ], Summon someone/something [ ], Meeting my DG [ ]

      Ah, I am a bit lazy myself . Even just some ADA practice here and there can help boost your percentages to become lucid. Every little bit helps and you don't have to go all out right off the bat. Start small and work your way up if you need to.

      A little self motivation by talking to yourself just before bed can definitely be effective. That is awesome that it worked out for you. Good luck with your ADA and be sure to update us with your progress !

      I should try out this method - although sometimes I have multiple tasks and have to pay attention to them (exams for example) :S
      Current goals: (long list!) [x] = completed [ ] = under testing / not completed
      [ ] Have a Long and Vivid Lucid Dream, [ ] Transform into a dolphin / mermaid, [ ] Swim in the ocean / explore it, [ ] Try out magic, [x] Fly with my own wings, [ ] Travel to another planet, [ ] Explore space (planets, star clusters, galaxies, black holes), [ ] Meet my DG, [ ] Visit an expensive hotel, [ ] Visit older dreamscapes, [ ] Explore random dreamworlds (just enjoy and explore the dreamscape)

      Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think think ADA means that you are aware of what you feel, smell, hear and see, and register it manually right?
      Because that is kinda what I did. Each day I need to travel 2 times around half an hour by bus, with not much to do, so I did my ADA session then and just manually registerd everything I felt, heard, smelled and saw, and the changes in them.

      Does this sounds allright or am I missing the point xD

      Tell me about it

      It's hard to be aware of your surroundings when you're attempting to retain large amounts of vital information in your short term memory.

      @Bloody hell; that sounds good as a start, times like that when you're doing nothing else are really useful for this technique. I try to do it any time I'm not focussing on anything in particular.

      Ah, indeed. Your schooling should always come first. You can just practice ADA during your free time or when you really have nothing to do.

      Yup, sounds like you are doing it correctly. Try to really pick up on the things you wouldn't have noticed before.

      My turn to chime in. Thank you for your tutorial, Yoshi. I have always kind of flirted with awareness but now I'm putting more effort into it. I am starting off slow, though, because being a Mother hogs up most of my effort these days.
      I do make sure that I am using a slight version of ADA while I am driving. I used to just put on a CD and kind of zone out, because driving to me is very soothing. But now I make sure the music is off and absorb everything that goes on around me while I drive, which actually makes me a better driver, I think. Will be slowly bringing ADA more and more into my day as well, and of course will report back any results

      I posted on here a while ago, but haven't done this because I have been really busy. I haven't even practiced LDing since around December, but I think I'm ready to get back into the game. But I think I'm really going to start doing this again. This site is the only connection iv had to lucid dreaming these last few months, I come on here everyday. Even though I haven't been practicing lding in a while.
      Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around.

      3 lucids in the past 2 night! I started off with the idea that the level of the awareness is most important. Then, after thinking about it for a lil while, i came up with the idea that the duration of the awareness is at least as important. So I started doing lower-level awareness all day long. That was the 11th. Had 2 LD's in the night 11th-12th ( without DEILD ) and 1 in the night 12th-13th (last night) . So i guess the theory was right

      So, my advice to all the others who practice this:
      Don't think about the level of the awareness too much. Find a level of awareness which you can keep up pretty much all day, then try to make that 'standard' level a little higher when you feel you're ready for it. Ofcourse, sessions of very high level awareness between the standard awareness is still something to recommend

      EDIT: To avoid misconceptions, i'm not saying that the level of awareness is not important, just that it is less important than some of you may think.

      ( Srry about your time if this is obvious to you, but i suspect that i'm not the only one who has made this mistake)

      Guess who's back? I have had 4 lucid dreams since Monday. @ in one night even I am on a role. I am starting to notice the small things like when a computer screen across a classroom flashes once or when i see the overhead board to my right come on outa the corner of my eyes.
